Overview
The Warrior Ritual Goalie Leg Pad offers advanced level protection and extremely lightweight construction. With years of experience the Ritual leg pads were developed under Pete Smith, a well known name in the goalie equipment industry.
The Ritual leg pad features knee levelers that have been added to support the knee. The knee leveler helps stabilize the knee area providing a continuous landing surface. Warrior new hinged knee design allows the outer portion of the knee cradle to twist when transitioning into the butterfly position. This helps with pad rotation while keeping minimal stress on your straps. Exclusive Post Wedge Panel provides protection to the outer calf while filling the gap between the post and the goalies knee when crouching. Warriors own Tabletop boot construction allows the boot to sit and move on top of your skates giving the goalie better mobility. Exclusive binding less construction keeps the leg pads lightweight while increasing durability by not having typical wear points.
High quality materials are used throughout the Ritual, keeping the pad as light as possible while maintaining good durability. The face of the pad is lined with a high quality durable leather that will hold up over time. Medium and high density foams are used throughout the face of the pad providing a large firm blocking surface. The back of the pad is lined with a breathable nylon material with a By SMITH patch in the upper left hand corner signifying that the pad is being overseen Pete Smith. The thigh guard is lined with a nylon and breathable inner layer able to wick away moisture. Knee Cradle, knee leveler, and calf wraps are lined with the same nylon and leather materials similar to the rest of the pad. These pads are using a combination of elastic, nylon, and leather straps to help secure the pad.
The squared-up design of these pads ensures a complete seal across the playing surface when in the butterfly position. Thin thigh profile allows the tops of the pads to overlap each other when in your stance as well as while moving on your feet giving the goalie better mobility. Protecting the upper portion of the leg is the thigh guard. The thigh guard is divided into three compartments with wide elastic band insuring a comfortable fit around the thigh. The inner boot has been rounded, reducing friction when going into the butterfly creating a smooth transition.

Previous Feedback
Comments: I upgraded from Koho 700s, during the first time I used the pads I saw a significant difference in my butterfly. The bigger thigh rise helps by widening and closing the butterfly. They are light and provide great mobility. The pads are also comfortable and can be customized to your liking by changing the positions of the straps on the pads. The sliding toe bridge makes going in to the butterfly so much easier and quicker.
